[PATCH v7 3/4] arm/syscalls: Architecture specific pre-usermode check
From: Thomas Garnier
Date: Mon Apr 10 2017 - 13:51:47 EST
Disable the generic pre-usermode check in favor of an optimized
implementation. This patch adds specific checks on user-mode return path
to make it faster and smaller.
The address limit is checked on each syscall return path to user-mode
path as well as the irq user-mode return function. If the address limit
was changed, a generic handler is called to stop the kernel on an
explicit check.
